I�ve never been able to get into The Wire. Of course, The Sopranos never resonated with me either. Nor CSI, Hill Street Blues, nor any other crime drama.

I’m so cool, it’s a crime.

Call it Law and Disorder and use a police whistle sound as a bump between scenes.

Hmmm, anyone watch HBO’s “The Wire.” I think that would cover it, although not exactly in the same format you’re talking about. But it’s the best TV Show ever, period. No debate. Btw, this is it’s last season and it’s going out in gangbusters…

Seriously, though: one of the major developments following the ubiquity of DNA testing has been a seemingly endless parade of stories on CNN in which somebody is freed after twenty years in prison, having been found, not merely not guilty, but factually and demonstrably innocent of the crime in question.

It seems like there’s a new such story every week. And these are just the cases in which genetic evidence is available.

What do you suppose the percentage of wrongfully convicted inmates in our nation’s prisons is? 1%? 2%? 10%? Can we even guess? And do we even care?

Followed by a montage of the prisoner being led away, going to death row, being made somebody’s bitch, losing appeal after appeal, and finally being executed, all done Benny Hill style.

Shit, I think this is a winner.

The families of the defendants a moment after the verdict is announced breaking out in screams of sorrow, accompanied by a slide-whistle.

America’s Funniest Wrongful Convictions

Necessary touch: film clips of the jury foreman announcing, “We find the defendant…guilty,” accompanied by the wacky horn “waaaah waaaaaah waaaaah waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa” sound effect.
